I want to run freebsd 5.4 and join this machine to my windows 2k3 domain, i just want to browse with my freebsd machine the others windows clients and windows clients browse my box, i just want to be another machine on the domain, they are running Windows XP and others 2k.
Fine. Samba can authenticate against an existing Windows domain.
This is my first time i am going to try this, i want to know if is posible and wich software i need or where i can find some information about, i search with google, but all the examples talk about making freebsd domain member or PDC, is the only way...?
No. But it's very common to make a Unix box a PDC using Samba.
Them if is posible, i will need samba software? Any information or link are welcome.
www.samba.org?
NOTE: i want to setup this machine and be my backup server on my Redmond domain, this is way im investigate about this, i think that if i want to make one Unix system to be my backup system for window domain system i need to be another client on that domain, im right or wrong???
You cannot have a Samba box act as a BDC for a Windows PDC, but you can join a domain as a client, and you can read and backup files on network shares if you like. However, most people would rather use a Unix/FreeBSD system as a fileserver rather than some Windows box.
